In less than 2 weeks, LeaseMagnets and Tour expects to achieve a milestone that we have imagined for a long time: 1 Million Tours delivered. This is the true story behind Tour Number One: Jenna, a student who was thinking about returning to the dorms, was waiting in line for dorm signups. With a couple friends, I designed several initial flyers that juxtaposed dorm life with off-campus options. We wanted to prove a thesis: that students considering dorms, needed to have frictionless ways to explore their off-campus options. We talked g to every student in line, and offered them a tour and sneak preview of life was like at an apartment community. I remember suggesting casually dropping flyers for observers in hopes they would pick them up, and even calling our friends over to pickup those flyers to create social proof 😂 After nearly a full day of conversations, Jenna agreed us to join us on a Tour for an apartment community called Zaragon West. And the rest is history. 30 minutes and one tour later, she would not only become our first tour delivered but on the spot would sign a $15k lease. That day had many learnings that I will forever carry, but perhaps most importantly it was these 4 lessons: 1) There are hundreds of prospects ready to make a decision but they may have not yet had the opportunity to take your Tour 2) However, If one of these prospects are given one of your guided tours, they might become some of your most qualified and excited leads 3) Finding these qualified leads with an accessible tour is a huge opportunity that doesn’t JUST occur on your community’s front door. It occurs on your website, it occurs on your campus. It occurs in the dorm room or at work or moments with their parents. It occurs where the student/prospect is. 4) Build a Thesis. Create Value. Take Risks. When your thesis is value generating for multiple stakeholders, it is likely asymmetric as well. We took the shot even when the chances seem slim. Because we knew we were creating value for the student and for the apartment. Even in the face of slim odds, your belief in the thesis and value it could create will propel you forward and create the opportunity for amazing stories and partners along the way. In the weeks that followed, Zaragon would become our first client, and with some iteration, we created the first agent-driven virtual tour that can be embedded on every/any apartment website. It worked! and with every iteration we began to grow nonlinearly. For us, It marked the start of a Grateful to God journey and Grateful to God moment for those He put in my/our life. A great Tour changes how you show up for the hundreds or thousands of prospects that show up, virtually, remotely or in-person. A million tours delivered starts with 1 Tour And 1 (Great and accessible) Tour can make all the difference.

TRAIN TO THE BAROSSA In 2014, I went to the World Cup in Brazil to support Australia and was fortunate to see one of the best goals of the World Cup by Tim Cahill against the Netherlands. On our return trip to Australia, we went to San Francisco and went on the Napa Valley Wine Train. Now, to get onto the Napa Valley Wine Train, the quickest way is to drive for approximately an hour to connect with the Napa Valley Wine Train. When I returned to Australia, a colleague and I started to re-explore the opportunity to have the Barossa Regional Wine Train and developed the attached concept in more detail in 2016. What excited me was being involved in the last stage of the Adelaide Convention Centre Development; I could imagine some 3000 delegates walking out of the convention centre, getting on a Train that would take them to one of the most highly prized wine regions in the world, without having to drive: in just under 90 mins —enhancing the whole experience. There are very few places in the world that could offer this. Further, this would also align with the projected population growth /HOUSING demand and enable the expansion of rail services to Nuriootpa, servicing the excellent tourism opportunity and providing an expanded rail passenger service.  For various reasons, we haven't embraced rail. Is it time to embrace rail? With Gather Round being such a success and AFL football now going to the Barossa, imagine going there by train. I also plan to go to football at Mt Barker by train one day. Dreams are great and become even more astounding when they become reality. #rail #tourism #infrastructure #housing

With the urban growth zone at Concordia this should be an absolute no-brainer.

⛵ Your next Corporate Event 🤔 I've been considering how many of you have thought about including sailing yachts in your next corporate event. As a result, I've decided to create a short document that highlights three key aspects to consider: ✅ Croatia as a destination ✅ Sailing as an activity ✅ Our fleet as the premier choice I have taken a bottom-up approach, with the document first highlighting why our fleet is well-suited for such activities, then providing information on how sailing could be utilized, and finally, offering reasons why I believe Croatia is a perfect destination for such an event. I am curious what are your thoughts on this? Would you like to know more? #madeforsailors
